Evolon®Sol and Evolon®Jet
are the result of a co-operation between Freudenberg Evolon and
Kernow Coatings HydroSol & Hydrojet to produce unique material
that offers the best blend of high impact imaging with a low
environmental impact durable fabric.

Evolon® is a patented
continuous micro-filament textile substrate which unlike
standard ‘nonwoven’ products (in the sense of just a mass of
short fibres bonded together) offers superior strength, tear
resistance and stability.It combines nonwoven processes with the superior benefits
from an endless spun polyester/polyamide microfibres, 100 times
thinner than a human hair, that are then fractured by Evolon’s
high-pressure water-jet process that simultaneously entangles
and consolidates the microfilaments.

A
substrate that is, very strong, but extremely light, cuts
clean and does not fray. Tear resistant, can be sewn,
grommeted, glued, heat-sealed and ultrasonically welded,
making it easy to use in hanging and stretch banners for
instance.(A side
benefit is that its acoustic damping properties reduce
echoing in large halls. PVC Free raw materials +
clean manufacturing process.

Compared to standard vinyl banners, it’s a
third of the weight
and totally PVC-free.

saving production energies.

Now that’s
low-impact!

A clean substrate, a clean coating…

Kernow Coatings “HydroSol” technology is
using a water-based, non-toxic coating process, infused into the
matrix of the material, adding minimal environmental burden to
the basic substrate, minimising the natural gloss of solvent
inks but imparting an attractive ‘leatherette’ sheen to solid
printed areas.The coating is pliant to retain a textile ‘handle’ and
excellent draping characteristics.

.And what’s more, the whole material has been successfully
certified to European flame retardant M1, held to be the most
demanding in Europe.

Suitable for hard, mild, eco-solvent, UVC and latex inks, even
with saturated ink levels, to produce deep, vibrant colours you
will see no seepage on the back, unlike most fabrics.

Kernow Coatings “HydroJet” technology is water-based, non-toxic
coating infused into the matrix of the material, adding minimal
environmental burden to the basic substrate, with a high matt
finish, killing unwelcome light reflections and retaining an
artistic look to prints.And what’s more, the whole material has been successfully
certified to European flame retardant M1, held to be the most
demanding in Europe.

Printable by any aqueous inkjet printer, can be saturated to
levels that produce deep, vibrant colours unknown on most
fabrics but with no seepage on the back.

Perfect for…

…
use as drop banners, wrinkle-resistant roll-up displays and
roller blinds, Evolon®Sol or Evolon®Jet are clean,
phthalate-free material that can be disposed of without worries
or incinerated to energy, lightness alone minimising
environmental burden by two-thirds compared to standard PVC
banners.And it’s
completely manufactured in the EU, fully compliant with its
stringent environmental laws.
